vids are still damn near impossible without using a render farm, it takes me STILL about 3 days to render 1 fucking minute of video, and best case scenario it comes out without issues like collides, odd facial ticks, or jumpy movements, otherwise say hello to frame per frame tweaking and another 3 days of praying it comes out ok.

on the bright side, it's because of just this issue that the 3D Toon niche is one of the few left that can still make decent money without video content.

4 mins for an image also is not very bad, few years ago I was seeing the same times Lyno mentioned above, these days a damn good image takes just under 4 mins on my new render machine.

my best advice....

Wait it out, the software is finally catching up to the hardware, only in the last 2 releases of both Poser and Daz Studio have finally allowed users to use as much as the computer power as they want / can handle prior to that, no matter how beefy your rig was you had to wait.
